Tiny caveat: this is the 1st issue of the 1985 (2nd edition) DELUXE EDITION of the Handbook, as opposed to the 1983 1st edition (original) Handbook.

Yeah. Minor nit.

There have been so darn many incarnations, of which I own all except the 1990-1993 "Master Edition" 3-ring-binder (rip off of the DC WHO's WHO) format (I mean... there were 36 of those! At $3.95... That's nuts!).

And sadly still continue to get the updates and whatnot today.

For a list of all the editions:http://www.comics.org/series/name/official%20handbook/sort/alpha/

Even knowing that the info will be outdated by the time they see print, I still "have to" get them.

At least, like the "Master Edition", I decided not to get the hardcover editions, opting instead for the tpbs (since I do have the original 1986 tpb editions).
